Forgestar F14 quality? Track use.

Hello all!

I am interested in getting a set of wheels for track day use
prefer 18" application in GT2 size.

The first company I can think of is Forgestar.
I really like their F14 wheels in Gunmetal.
Now they are popular in a lot of different car's world.
But I am not sure how they held up in track?

I've seen some posts from different forum complain they cracked over time and their customer service isn't top notch.
But all those posts are some how years ago, maybe Forgestar has improved over the years?

Anyone has any good/bad experience with the Forgestar F14 on track would like to share? It will be a great help for me.
Thank you very much guys

i realize you asked specifically about track use and i don't. but i do drive canyon roads at a nice clip daily, and stability is an issue. i love these wheels,.. have them paired with ps'2's in the gt2 sizes, and man.. if i lose traction, it was me, not the wheel/tire combo. they look great too.

at $1500.00 a set with custom fitment? faggedaboudit.

We have a lot of 911/Cayman customers using their 18" and 19" F14s for track duties with no reported issues with metal hub rings.

We have had a few cases of bent wheels but this is due to aggressive driving on the rumble strips as reported by owners - any wheel will bend in that scenario! Most of the failures we have seen have been with lug bolts, and that is not related to Forgestar wheels.

We can currently put a set of CF5 18x8.5 or 18x9 and 18x12R into production. The F14 barrels are out of stock. Most of the customer service issues come from inaccurate ETAs and overall customer service, not the wheels themselves.
